DESCRIPTION

3G Connection

This displays Down when the 3G connection is down or not activated.

Status

This displays Initializing when the ZyWALL is configuring the 3G card with AT

 

commands.

 

This displays Ready to Connect when the 3G connection is idle before the

 

ZyWALL triggers a call.

 

This displays Connecting when the 3G card is trying to connect to a network but

 

has not received a response from the base station.

 

This displays Connected when the 3G connection is up.

 

This displays Disconnecting when the ZyWALL is dropping the 3G connection.

 

This field also displays whether the ZyWALL is connected to a UMTS/HSDPA

 

network or GPRS/EDGE network.

 

This field also displays the type of the network to which the the ZyWALL is

 

connected. The network type varies depending on the 3G card you inserted and

 

could be UMTS, HSDPA, GPRS or EDGE when you insert a GSM 3G card, or

 

1xRTT, EVDO Rev.0 or EVDO Rev.A when you insert a CDMA 3G card.

 

 

Service Provider

This displays the name of your network service provider or Limited Service when

 

the signal strength is too low or the ISP is limiting your access.

This field is available only when you insert a 3G card that supports the roaming

 

feature.

Dormant State

This field is available only when you insert a 3G card that supports the dormant

This displays whether the card is in dormant state. When there is no data

 

transmitting, a card does not send a radio signal and is in dormant state to reduce

 

bandwidth usage.

 

 

Signal Strength

This displays the signal strength of the wireless network in dBm. The status bar

 

shows the strength of the signal. The signal strength mainly depends on the

 

antenna output power and the distance between your ZyWALL and the service

 

provider’s base station. You can see a signal strength indication even when the

 

ZyWALL does not have a 3G connection (because the signal is still there even

 

when the ZyWALL is not using it).
